Ecological and economic outcomes of area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management in the Mediterranean SeaNARA Subscribed
Intergovernmental targets are reinforcing the need for more sustainable fisheries and more effective marine conservation. It is now urgent to understand how area-based conservation and sustainable fisheries management tools contribute to these environmental and socio-economic goals. Here, we systematically reviewed and assessed the outcomes of marine protected areas (accounting for their level of protection and of enforcement)...
Photocatalytic caffeine degradation and toxicity reduction using reduced graphene oxide-modified zinc tellurideNARA Subscribed
The occurrence of emerging pollutants in aquatic matrices has raised environmental concern because of their persistence and potential toxicity. This study assessed caffeine degradation and toxicity reduction using zinc telluride functionalized with reduced graphene oxide as heterogeneous photocatalyst. The catalysts were synthesized by the wet impregnation method with excess solvent, and characterized by physicochemical and op...
Features of possible regional ionospheric memory manifested themselves at low-latitudes under solar eclipse conditions.
A climate services organization supporting coastal resilience: lessons from the Stone Living LabNARA Subscribed
There is a growing recognition that effective climate adaptation requires organizations that can translate science into policy-relevant, place-based implementation. The Stone Living Lab (SLL) was established as a climate services organization to help bridge the gap between climate adaptation research and real-world application. In this paper, we present the Lab as a model for how universities and NGOs can partner with governme...
Non‐Stationary Dry‐Spell Hazard Probabilities for SpainNARA Subscribed
This study provides a comprehensive assessment of long‐term changes in dry‐spell dynamics across Spain for the period 1961–2024, using both classical non‐parametric methods and a novel non‐stationary probabilistic framework applied to exceedance series of dry‐spell durations. Using daily precipitation data from a dense network of quality‐controlled stations, dry‐spells were identified based on four thresholds (0.1, 1, 5, and 1...
Osteoarthritis (OA) is one of the main causes of chronic pain in dogs, significantly impairing mobility and quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the analgesic efficacy of bedinvetmab, administered alone and in combination with physiotherapy using photobiomodulation (PBM) and pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF), in dogs with hip OA. This was a prospective, randomized, comparative effectiveness trial involving 3...
Unstable bridges—exploring the possibilities for “in between” spaces amidst divergent narratives in environmental governanceNARA Subscribed
Social-ecological systems increasingly face polarization dynamics that challenge environmental governance. Such polarization implies the development of opposing narratives with limited interaction, each framing environmental problems and solutions in distinct ways. In this study, we analyze a case of narrative polarization around the eutrophication crises of the Mar Menor lagoon in Spain, focusing on how proposed solutions are...
Accuracy of blind approach and ultrasound–guided techniques for pudendal nerve block in cadaveric cats - a pilot studyNARA Subscribed
This blinded, randomized and prospective cadaveric pilot study compared the accuracy of a blind approach for pudendal nerve block (PNB–B) with that of the ultrasound–guided technique (PNB–US) in cats. Two male cat cadavers were used for a preliminary anatomical study to identify palpable bony landmarks, while eight additional cadavers were employed for the experimental phase. Each hemipelvis was randomly assigned to one of the...
Consistent topsoil carbon density and driving factors in urban greenspaces and natural ecosystemsNARA Subscribed
Background Urban greenspaces have the potential to mitigate urban carbon footprints by storing soil organic carbon (SOC). Different management and plant communities associated with different types of urban greenspaces may hold contrasting SOC, as well as different proportions of particulate (POC) and mineral-associated organic carbon (MAOC). In addition, management could outweigh the effects of climate or soil properties as dr...
SNAPSHOT USA 2024: Year 6 of the Coordinated National Camera Trap Survey of the United StatesNARA Subscribed
Motivation SNAPSHOT USA is an annual, multi‐contributor camera trap survey of mammals across the United States. The growing SNAPSHOT USA dataset is intended for tracking the spatial and temporal responses of mammal populations to changes in land use, land cover and climate. These data will be useful for exploring the drivers of spatial and temporal changes in relative abundance and distribution, as well as the impacts of speci...
